Summary
"What I find in my territory is mine to keep. Even if it’s a man."
Jag. Uninhibited. Possessive. Walks on the wild side.
Dane. Gentle giant. Monster lover. Plays it safe.
Dane always knew his illicit fantasies of rough sex and dangerous men would one day lead him down a path of no return, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stay away.
After being beaten half to death by his ex, he wakes up in a collar, chained to a wall by a wild man who claims Dane as his property.
From the moment Jag lays his eyes on Dane, he knows he wants to keep him. Big, strong, with colorful ink all over, he is the most unique man Jag had ever seen. But Dane has to be tamed if he is to become Jag’s mate for life.
All Jag needs to do is assure Dane that he will be protected and provided for, because the sparks are already flying. But Dane keeps nagging about irrelevant things like his family, responsibilities, and the internet. No wonder Jag needs to keep him chained for longer than he expected.
The only way out for Dane is to play the role of Jag’s obedient, loving "mate", and bide his time until he can escape. But while Jag is absolutely batshit, and his junkyard den lifestyle is insanity, he also showers Dane with treats, worships the ground he walks on, and f--ks him like a monster, the way Dane always dreamed of in his most secret fantasies.

Primal Love
Primal is the second book in the Wrong Side of the Tracks, and brings us Jag, modern day Tarzan who rules in his junkyard jungle. Primal follows the first book Scum, but it can easily be read as a standalone. I suggest reading Scum first because it will add more layers of depth to the relationship some reoccurring characters have with each other, but the love story between Jag and Dane is completely standalone.
I loved Jag - he’s a morally gray character, but he puts 100% effort in everything he does. His complete lack of understanding of modern culture had me stifling laughs while I listened to the audiobook in public. There were so many hilarious small moments throughout this book. Dane and Jag’s relationship was incredible: from captor/prisoner to equal partners and lovers, the transformation was a wild and hard win for them both.
The audiobook was narrated by Wyatt Baker who did a fantastic job. I love Wyatt’s voice and he did not disappoint in his audiobook performance. All in all, this was an enjoyable book and listening experience.

Something different
A sweet yet intense story. I adored Jag: he wanted a mate to love but didn’t know how to get one as he didn’t fit into the modern world.
Fantastic and I really enjoyed it.

Great story and performance
This was unlike anything I have read/listened to before and I loved every crazy minute of it. I devoured this story in one listen and couldn't stop listening. It was really well written. The characters were fantastic. JAG is the "caveman" character on the outside but is really such a sweetheart and so protective. They had amazing chemistry and ended up being exactly what each other needed. This story is definitely insane and had me chuckling at times but it was also very sweet and steamy and filled with emotion with some action and suspense and a little angst thrown in. I would definitely recommend this book.
The narrator did a great performance. He had a pleasant reading voice. He expressed the emotions perfectly and brought the story to life. He did different voices that made it easy to distinguish each of the characters.

What a Story!!! Baker is Fantastic
Whoooooooooah! Yes :)
K.A. Merikan's Primal is smoking hot!
Filled with creative and clever twists, on so many different aspects of the story, I just kept on dropping my jaw in awe. Doesn't matter how many books I read (or listen to) by the Merikans, they never stop impressing me with their unique insights into the human experience.
Two of the most intriguing characters ever, Jag and Dane's unique approaches to everything in life and love made them such an interesting couple. Plus there’s an exciting fast-paced storyline. Never ending fun.
A beautiful job on the audio by Wyatt Baker! I love Mr. Baker’s enthusiastic performance, and his voices fit these characters perfectly. Wonderful job!
an audiobook copy of Primal was provided for the purpose of my honest review, all opinions are my own

Primal
I preface my review by saying this book fits particular tastes - try it if you're feeling adventurous, but go in being open-minded. If it's not your thing, so be it, but dont bash when you've been thoroughly warned.
This was so well written. How the author can make characters, so surfaces horrid, so loveable, and endearing is truly a gift. This couple is perfect, and their story twisting, deviantly perfect. Baker did really well with the narration. It took me a moment to settle in, but once I did, it was exactly what I wanted.

He should be dead
Personally, I don't think this is a standalone. It carries on straight from book 1, which was a great start to this series.
We meet Jag again, the wolfman who lives in the woods. Wow, we get to really meet him and his background.
Dane is a computer geek who has a love for the bad guys. The big gentle giant.
The story develops well with all the characters from the first book. We still have Frank, Shane and Rosen on the side. All I can say is that KA Merikan has a great imagination. Worth the read/listen.
It was narrated by Wyatt Baker, who does a sterling job narrating this book. However, I did speed up to 1.25 on audible like usual.

Hot, primal, and... unexpectedly sweet
It's scary how quickly these authors can make me fall in love with morally questionable characters, and Jag's story was no exception. Despite all his beastliness, caveman tendencies, and growliness, Jag was such a puppy around Dane. He may not have gone about courting him the conventional way, but it was obvious how hard he was trying, in his own way, to prove he was a worthy partner. I do wish this book had explored Jag's upbringing a little more, because the more I learned about it the more it put his assumptions about relationships into perspective for me. As it was, I still found it shockingly easy to see past Jag's sometimes alarming behaviors to the man desperate to love and be loved. It doesn't excuse the things he did and said, but what I loved about Jag was how hard he tried to listen and change his habits to make Dane happy. Of course, their relationship wasn't without drama. Dane and Jag had some spectacular blowups, sometimes leading to steamy romps and other time to bloody disasters. I was captivated throughout it all, and I was expecially thrilled to see more of Frank, Dex, and Shane towards the end. It was wonderful to see the way their band of friends and family rallied around them when they needed support most, and that conclusion was wild. There's no doubt in my mind that Jag and Dane found a path to be happy together, and if their insanely hot, primal lovemaking is any indicaiton, their passion is very much alive.

A primal romance indeed!
This is the first of the series that I read. It’s different from what I have read of the author but I enjoyed it. It’s dark and very savage, Jag is uniquely uncivilized for the modern world but his kindness is unlimited, even for his captive. Dane has dark desires that are met by Jag. Their situation is so different from anything I’ve read but the author kept my attention for the whole book and I will continue with the series. I am curious, is Dex’s story next? Lovely narration.

Primal
K.A. Merikan are my go to authors for a good dark, sexy, taboo read/listen and they are gifted writers.
Primal is a modern day take on Tarzan and after reading the blurb I expected it to be darker than it actually was, that’s not to say it wasn’t another excellent book, just that it is slightly lighter and fun.
Jag is just so adorable and naïve you can understand how Dane falls for him.
This is a great book to introduce yourself into K.A. Merikan works if you have ever been tempted but have been unsure due to past reviews on the darkness and taboo nature of their work.
